Collect your data

1. Before launch

• First determine the best way to reach your survey population.
  For example, if you want to focus on indigenous women’s rights organizers, do you know who the key networks are? Do you have contacts there, people who can introduce you to these organizations or ways of reaching them?
• Determine if your key population can be easily reached with an online survey, if you need to focus on paper survey distribution and collection or a mix of both. This decision is very important to ensure accessibility and inclusiveness.
• Be prepared! Prior to advertizing, create a list of online spaces where you can promote your survey.
  If you are distributing paper versions, create a list of events, spaces and methods for distributing and collecting results.
• Plan your timeline in advance, so you can avoid launching your survey during major holidays or long vacation periods.
• Make it easy for your advisors and partners to advertize the survey – offer them pre-written Twitter, Facebook and email messages that they can copy and paste.

2. Launch

• Send the link to the survey via email through your organization’s email databases.
• Advertize on your organization’s social media. Similar to your newsletter, you can regularly advertize the survey while it is open.
• If your organization is hosting events that reach members of your survey population, this is a good space to advertize the survey and distribute paper versions as needed.
• Invite your advisors to promote the survey with their email lists and ask them to copy you so you are aware of their promotional messages. Remember to send them follow-up reminders if they’ve agreed to disseminate.
• Approach funders to share your survey with their grantees. It is in their interest that their constituencies respond to a survey that will improve their own work in the field.

3. During launch

• Keep the survey open for a minimum of four weeks to ensure everyone has time to take it and you have time to widely advertize it.
• Send reminders through your email databases and your partners databases asking people to participate in the survey. To avoid irritating recipients with too many emails, we recommend sending two additional reminder emails: one at  midway point while your survey is open and another a week before your survey closes.
• As part of your outreach, remember to state that you are only collecting one response per organization. This will make cleaning your data much easier when you are preparing it for analysis.
• Save an extra week! Halfway through the open window for survey taking, check your data set. How have you done so far? Run initial numbers to see how many groups have responded, from which locations, etc. If you see gaps, reach out to those specific populations. Also, consider extending your deadline by a week – if you do so, include this extension deadline in one of your reminder emails, informing people know there is more time to complete the survey. Many answers tend to come in during the last week of the survey or after the extended deadline.

If you also plan to collect data from applications sent to grant-making institutions, this is a good time to reach out them.

When collecting this data, consider what type of applications you would like to review. Your research framing will guide you in determining this.

Also, it may be unnecessary to see every application sent to the organization – instead, it will be more useful and efficient to review only eligible applications (regardless of whether they were funded).

You can also ask grant-making institutions to share their data with you.

Prepare your data for analysis

Your survey has closed and now you have all this information! Now you need to ensure your data is as accurate as possible.

Depending on your sample size and amount of completed surveys, this step can be lengthy. Tapping into a strong pool of detail-oriented staff will speed up the process and ensure greater accuracy at this stage.

Also, along with your surveys, you may have collected data from applications sent to grant-making institutions. Use these same steps to sort that data as well. Do not get discouraged if you cannot compare the two data sets! Funders collect different information from what you collected in the surveys. In your final research report and products, you can analyze and present the datasets (survey versus grant-making institution data) separately.

1. Clean your data

• Resolve and remove duplications: If there is more than one completed survey for one organization, reach out to the organization and determine which one is the most accurate.
• Remove ineligible responses: Go through each completed survey and remove any responses that did not properly answer the question. Replace it with “null”, thus keeping it out of your analysis.
• Consistently format numerical data: For example, you may remove commas, decimals and dollar signs from numerical responses. Financial figures provided in different currencies may need to be converted.

2. Code open-ended responses

There are two styles of open-ended responses that require coding.

Questions with open-ended responses

For these questions, you will need to code responses in order to track trends.

Some challenges you will face with this is:

1. People will not use the exact same words to describe similar responses
2. Surveys with multiple language options will require translation and then coding
3. Staff capacity to review and code each open-ended response.

If using more than one staff member to review and code, you will need to ensure consistency of coding. Thus, this is why we recommend limiting your open-ended questions and as specific as possible for open-ended questions you do ask. 

For example, if you had the open-ended question “What specific challenges did you face in fundraising this year?” and some common responses cite “lack of staff,” or “economic recession,” you will need to code each of those responses so you can analyze how many participants are responding in a similar way.

For closed-end questions

If you provided the participant with the option of elaborating on their response, you will also need to “up-code” these responses.

For several questions in the survey, you may have offered the option of selecting the category “Other” With “Other” options, it is common to offer a field in which the participant can elaborate.

You will need to “up-code” such responses by either:

• Converting open-ended responses to the correct existing categories (this is known as “up-coding”). As a simple example, consider your survey asks participants “what is your favorite color?” and you offer the options “blue,” “green,” and “other.” There may be some participants that choose “other” and in their explanation they write “the color of the sky is my favorite color.” You would then “up-code” answers like these to the correct category, in this case, the category “blue.”
• Creating a new category if there are several “others” that have a common theme. (This is similar to coding the first type of open-ended responses). Consider the previous example question of favorite color. Perhaps many participants chose “other” and then wrote “red” is their favorite. In this case, you would create a new category of “red” to track all responses that answered “red.”
• Removing “others” that do not fit any existing or newly created categories.

3. Remove unecessary data

Analyze the frequency of the results

For each quantitative question, you can decide whether you should remove the top or bottom 5% or 1% to prevent outliers* from skewing your results. You can also address the skewing effect of outliers by using median average rather than the mean average. Calculate the median by sorting responses in order, and selecting the number in the middle. However, keep in mind that you may still find outlier data useful. It will give you an idea of the range and diversity of your survey participants and you may want to do case studies on the outliers.

* An outlier is a data point that is much bigger or much smaller than the majority of data points. For example, imagine you live in a middle-class neighborhood with one billionaire. You decide that you want to learn what the range of income is for middle-class families in your neighborhood. In order to do so, you must remove the billionaire income from your dataset, as it is an outlier. Otherwise, your mean middle-class income will seem much higher than it really is.

Remove the entire survey for participants who do not fit your target population. Generally you can recognize this by the organizations’ names or through their responses to qualitative questions.

4. Make it safe

To ensure confidentiality of the information shared by respondents, at this stage you can replace organization names with a new set of ID numbers and save the coding, matching names with IDs in a separate file.

With your team, determine how the coding file and data should be stored and protected.

For example, will all data be stored on a password-protected computer or server that only the research team can access?

Back to top

Create your topline report

A topline report will list every question that was asked in your survey, with the response percentages listed under each question. This presents the collective results of all individual responses. 

Tips:

• Consistency is important: the same rules should be applied to every outlier when determining if it should stay or be removed from the dataset.
• For all open (“other”) responses that are up-coded, ensure the coding matches. Appoint a dedicated point person to randomly check codes for consistency and reliability and recode if necessary.
• If possible, try to ensure that you can work at least in a team of two, so that there is always someone to check your work.

Back to top

Analyze your data

Now that your data is clean and sorted, what does it all mean? This is the fun part where you begin to analyze for trends.

Are there prominent types of funders (government versus corporate)? Are there regions that receive more funding? Your data will reveal some interesting information.

1. Statistical programs

• Smaller samples (under 150 responses) may be done in-house using an Excel spreadsheet.

• Larger samples (above 150 responses) may be done in-house using Excel if your analysis will be limited to tallying overall responses, simple averages or other simple analysis.

• If you plan to do more advanced analysis, such as multivariate analysis, then we recommend using statistical software such as SPSS, Stata or R.
  NOTE: SPSS and Stata are expensive whereas R is free.
  All three types of software require staff knowledge and are not easy to learn quickly.

Try searching for interns or temporary staff from local universities. Many students must learn statistical analysis as part of their coursework and may have free access to SPSS or Stata software through their university. They may also be knowledgeable in R, which is free to download and use.

2. Suggested points for analysis

• Analysis of collective budget sizes
• Analysis of budget sizes by region or type of organization
• Most common funders
• Total amount of all funding reported
• Total percentages of type of funding (corporate, government, etc)
• Most funded issues/populations
• Changes over time in any of these results.

Communicating Desire

and Other Embodied Political Praxes

Communicating Desire

Host: We tend to think about communicating desire as something that is limited to the private intimacy of the bedroom and our personal relationships. But can we also think of this kind of communication as a structure, a praxis that informs our work, and how we are, how we do in the world?

Lindiwe
I believe that unfortunately in the past, expressing your sexuality has been limited. You were allowed to express it within the confines of your marriage, which was permitted, there have always been taboo and stigmas attached to expressing it any other way. When it comes to communicating, obviously the fact that certain stigmas are attached to expressing your sexuality or expressing your desire makes it a lot harder to communicate that in the bedroom or intimately with your partner. From my personal experience, I do believe that obviously if I feel more comfortable expressing myself outside of the bedroom on other matters or other topics, it’s easier for me to build that trust, because you understand conflict resolution with that particular person, you understand exactly how to make your communication special towards that particular person. It’s not easy. It’s something that is consistently done throughout whatever your engagement is, whether it’s your relationship or whether it’s casual and just in the moment. But I believe that confidence outside can definitely translate to how you communicate your desire.

Manal
Since childhood, a woman is raised with that, “you’re not allowed to talk about your body, you’re not allowed to talk about your desire,” which puts a heavy responsibility on women, especially girls in their teens when they need to express themselves and talk about these issues. So for me I think this is a big problem. You know, I have been married for more than 25 years, but still, until now, I cannot talk about my desires. I cannot say what I want or what I prefer, because it’s like I’m not allowed to go beyond this line. It’s like haram, despite it being my right. This is the case for all my friends, they just can’t express themselves in the right way.

Louise
Personally, I find that expressing our desires, my desires, however that expression comes in hand, has to do with the other, and the gaze that the other would have on me. So this is also something that we can link to cinema. And the gaze I would have on myself as well: what I think I am as an individual, but also what society expects of me and my sexuality. In the past, I somehow did the analogy between what happens in the bedroom and what happens in the workplace, because there is sometimes this dynamic of power, whether I want it or not. And oftentimes, verbal communication is harder than we think. But when it comes to representation in film, that’s a totally different game. We are very far away from what I guess all of us here would like to see on screen when it comes to just communicating sexual desires inside or outside the bedroom. 

Online and Embodied

Host: We can think about the digital world as embodied: while it might be virtual, it is not less real. And this was made clear in the context of AWID’s feminist realities festival, which took place entirely online. What does it mean then to talk about sexuality, collectively, politically, in online spaces? Do we navigate virtual spaces with our bodies and affects, and in this case, what are the different considerations? What does it do to communication and representation?

Lindiwe
Social media makes you feel community-based. When you express what it is that you want or like, there is someone who’s either going to agree or disagree, but those who do agree make you feel that you belong to a community. So it’s easier to throw it out into the universe, or for others to see, and potentially not get as much judgment. And I say this very loosely because sometimes, depending on what it is that you’re expressing, it either will get you vilified or celebrated. But when it comes to the bedroom, there is an intimacy and almost a vulnerability that is exposing you and different parts of you that is not as easy to give your opinion on. When it comes to expressing your desire, speaking it and saying it and maybe putting a Tweet or a social media post, or even liking and reading other communities that are same-minded is a lot easier than telling your partner, “this is how I want to be pleasured” or “this is how what I want you to do next,” because of the fear of rejection. But not only that, just the vulnerability aspect – allowing yourself to be bare enough to let the other person see into what you are thinking, feeling, and wanting – I think this is where the difference would come in for me personally. I feel it is a lot more community-based on social media, and it’s easier to engage in discourse. Whereas in the bedroom, you don’t want to necessarily kill the moment. But I think that also kind of helps you understand going forward, depending on the relationship with the person, how you would engage thereafter. So I always know that if I try to communicate something and I fail to do so in the moment, I can always try to bring it up outside of that moment and see what the reaction would be so I know how to approach it going forward.

Louise
You know the question in films is, I don’t know if the male gaze is done intentionally or not. Like we don’t really know that. What we know is that the reason why sexuality in general has been so heternormative and focused on penetration and not giving any space for women to actually ask for anything in films, is because most of the people who have been working in this industry and making decisions in terms of, you know, storytelling and editing have been white men. So rape revenge is this very weird film genre that was birthed in the 70s, and half of the story would be that a woman is being raped by one or multiple people, and in the other half, she would get her revenge. So usually she would murder and kill the people who have raped her, and sometimes other people next to them. At the beginning of the birth of this genre and for 30 years at least, those films were written, produced, and directed by men. This is why we also want so much representation. A lot of feminists and pioneers in queer filmmaking also used the act of filming in order to do that and to reclaim their own sexuality. I’m thinking about Barbara Hammer, who’s a feminist and queer pioneer in experimental cinema in the U.S. where she decided to shoot women having sex on 16mm, and by doing so reclaimed a space within the narrative that was exposed in film at that time. And there is also then the question of invisibilization: we know now, because of the internet and sharing knowledge, that women and queer filmmakers have been trying and making films since the beginning of cinema. We only realize it now that we have access to databases and the work of activists and curators and filmmakers.

Resisting Colonization

Host: And this opens up the conversation on the importance of keeping our feminist histories alive. The online worlds have also played a crucial role in documenting protests and resistance. From Sudan to Palestine to Colombia, feminists have taken our screens by storm, challenging the realities of occupation, capitalism, and oppression. So could we speak of communicating desire – the desire for something else – as decolonization?

Manal
Maybe because my village is just 600 residents and the whole village is one family – Tamimi – there are no barriers between men and women. We do everything together. So when we began our non-violent resistance or when we joined the non-violent resistance in Palestine, there was no discussion whether women should participate or not. We took a very important role within the movement here in the village. But when other villages and other places began to join our weekly protests, some men thought that if these women participate or join the protests, they will fight with soldiers so it will be like they’re easy women. There were some men who were not from the village who tried to sexually harass the women. But a strong woman who is able to stand in front of a soldier can also stand against sexual harassment. Sometimes, when other women from other places join our protest, they are shy at first; they don’t want to come closer because there are many men. If you want to join the protest, if you want to be part of the non-violent movement, you have to remove all these restrictions and all these thoughts from your mind. You have to focus on just fighting for your rights. Unfortunately, the Israeli occupation realizes this issue. For example, the first time I was arrested, I wear the hijab so they tried to take it off; they tried to take off my clothes, in front of everybody. There were like 300-400 people and they tried to do it. When they took me to the interrogation, the interrogator said: “we did this because we want to punish other women through you. We know your culture.” So I told him: “I don’t care, I did something that I believe in. Even if you take all my clothes off, everybody knows that Manal is resisting.”

Lindiwe
I think even from a cultural perspective, which is very ironic, if you look at culture in Africa, prior to getting colonized, showing skin wasn’t a problem. Wearing animal skin and/or hides to protect you, that wasn’t an issue and people weren’t as sexualized unless it was within context. But we conditioned ourselves to say, “you should be covered up” and the moment you are not covered up you are exposed, and therefore it will be sexualized. Nudity gets sexualized as opposed to you just being naked; they don’t want a little girl to be seen naked. What kind of society have we conditioned ourselves to be if you’re going to be sexualizing someone who is naked outside of the context of a sexual engagement? But environment definitely plays a big role because your parents and your grannies and your aunts say “no, don’t dress inappropriately,” or “no, that’s too short.” So you hear that at home first, and then the moment you get exposed outside, depending on the environment, whether it’s a Eurocentric or more westernized environment to what you are used to, then you are kind of free to do so. And even then, as much as you are free, there’s still a lot that comes with it in terms of catcalling and people still sexualizing your body. You could be wearing a short skirt, and someone feels they have the right to touch you without your permission. There is so much that is associated with regulating and controlling women’s bodies, and that narrative starts at home. And then you go out into your community and society and the narrative gets perpetuated, and you realize that you get sexualized by society at large too, especially as a person of color.

Resistance as Pleasure

Host: And finally, in what ways can our resistance be more than what we are allowed? Is there a place for pleasure and joy, for us and our communities?

Louise
Finding pleasure as resistance and resistance in pleasure, first for me there is this idea of the guerrilla filmmaking or the action of filming when you’re not supposed to or when someone told you not to, which is the case for a lot of women and queer filmmakers in the world right now. For example, in Lebanon, which is a cinema scene that I know very well, most of the lesbian stories that I’ve seen were shot by students in very short formats with “no production value” as the west would say – meaning with no money, because of the censorship that happens on an institutional level, but also within the family and within the private sphere. I would think that filming whatever, but also filming pleasure and pleasure within lesbian storytelling is an act of resistance in itself. A lot of times, just taking a camera and getting someone to edit and someone to act is extremely hard and requires a lot of political stance.

Lindiwe
I have a rape support group. I’m trying to assist women to reintegrate themselves from a sexual perspective: wanting to be intimate again, wanting to not let their past traumas influence so much how they move forward. It’s not an easy thing, but it’s individual. So I always start with understanding your body. I feel the more you understand and love and are proud of it, the more you are able to allow someone else into that space. I call it sensuality training, where I get them to start seeing themselves as not sexual objects, but as objects of pleasure and desire that can be interchangeable. So you’re worthy of receiving as well as giving. But that’s not only from a psychological point of view; it is physical. When you get out of the shower, you get out of the bath, and you’re putting lotion on your body, look at every part of your body, feel every part of your body, know when there are changes, know your body so well that should you get a new pimple on your knee, you are so aware of it because just a few hours ago it wasn’t there. So things like that where I kind of get people to love themselves from within, so they feel they are worthy of being loved in a safe space, is how I gear them towards claiming their sexuality and their desire.

Manal
You know we began to see women coming from Nablus, from Jerusalem, from Ramallah, even from occupied 48, who have to drive for 3-4 hours just to come to join the protests. After that we tried to go to other places, talk with women, tell them that they don’t have to be shy, that they should just believe in themselves and that there is nothing wrong in what we are doing. You can protect yourself, so where is the wrong in participating or in joining? Once I asked some women, “why are you joining?” And they said, “if the Tamimi women can do it, we can do it also.” To be honest I was very happy to hear this because we were like a model for other women. If I have to stand for my rights, it should be all my rights, not just one or two. We can’t divide rights.

Los resultados de la investigación también influirán sobre tu trabajo de incidencia ya que, por ejemplo, te habrán revelado qué sectores otorgan más financiamiento y cuáles consideras que necesitan mayor formación para ejercer su rol de donantes.

En esta sección

• Desarrolla la estrategia de incidencia
• Ponte en contacto con tus redes
• Adapta la estrategia a cada sector
  1. Organizaciones por los derechos de las mujeres
  2. Entidades bilaterales y multilaterales
  3. Fundaciones privadas
  4. Fondos de mujeres
  5. Sector privado y nuevos donantes

Desarrolla la estrategia de incidencia

En la sección de este Manual dedicada a «Prepara el marco para la investigación», te recomendamos que pensaras en las metas que esperabas alcanzar con la investigación. Esas metas te permitirán desarrollar una estrategia de incidencia una vez que hayas completado la investigación.

Una estrategia de incidencia es un plan para difundir los resultados de la investigación de una forma tal que te permita cumplir las metas, dentro del objetivo más amplio que es hacer incidencia con sectores clave para introducir cambios positivos en cuanto a los recursos disponibles para los procesos organizativos por los derechos de las mujeres.

Cómo utilizar las metas definidas en el marco para la investigación:

• Compila una lista con los posibles grupos de contactos a quienes les podrían interesar los resultados de la investigación.
• Para cada grupo, explica en una sola frase cómo te podría ayudar a alcanzar tu meta.
• Para cada grupo, anota el tono que deberás utilizar para comunicarte (formal y profesional, informal, ¿entienden la jerga del sector?).
• Compila una lista de todos los medios que te podrían ayudar a llegar a esas audiencias, el tono adecuado para cada uno, y sus funcionalidades (redes sociales para desarrollar una sensación de comunidad, comunicados de prensa para los anuncios oficiales dirigidos a un público general, etc.).

De esa lista — que será lo más exhaustiva posible — elige los medios más eficientes para alcanzar tus metas. (Más abajo encontrarás ejemplos específicos de audiencias y métodos de incidencia)

Una vez que hayas desarrollado la estrategia, podrás comenzar con la difusión.

Volver al comienzo

Ponte en contacto con tus redes

Para difundir los resultados, primero ponte en contacto con las personas/organizaciones a través de las cuales distribuiste la encuesta, y también con todas las que respondieron la encuesta y fueron entrevistadas.

• Primero, aprovecha la oportunidad para agradecerles por haber contribuido a la investigación.
• Comparte con ellxs los principales resultados de la encuesta y los análisis.

• Facilítales la difusión del producto aportándoles ejemplos de tuits, mensajes para Facebook e incluso una breve introducción que puedan copiar y pegar en su sitio de Internet.

No te olvides de pedirles que identifiquen quién será tu contacto en cada organización y pídeles que te confirmen una vez que hayan realizado cualquier publicación referida a tus materiales.

Esto te permitirá tener un registro de quiénes difundieron el informe pero también construir vínculos más sólidos con las organizaciones y personas con las que trabajas.

Volver al comienzo

Adapta la estrategia a cada sector

A modo de ejemplo te presentamos una lista de sectores sobre los que AWID realiza incidencia.

• Utiliza esta lista como punto de partida para elaborar tus propios planes de incidencia para cada sector.
• Formula un objetivo que esperas lograr en cada sector.
• Asegúrate de agregar a la lista a todo sector que te parezca relevante para tu investigación específica, como por ejemplo ONG o gobiernos locales.

Para esto te resultará útil la lista de organizaciones y personas que te asesoraron durante la investigación (consultorxs). Ellxs te ayudarán a difundir el informe en distintos espacios y también podrán presentarte a nuevas organizaciones o llevarte a nuevos espacios para hacer incidencia.

1. Organizaciones por los derechos de las mujeres

Objetivos propuestos: Que las organizaciones por los derechos de las mujeres actualicen sus conocimientos acerca de las tendencias en el financiamiento; pensar colectivamente iniciativas conjuntas para la movilización de recursos utilizando los resultados de la investigación; influir sobre cómo abordan la movilización de recursos

Ejemplos de posibles métodos de incidencia:

• Organiza seminarios, cafés de aprendizaje u otros eventos en toda tu región, en los idiomas relevantes, para comunicarles los resultados de la investigación.
• Si no puedes llegar físicamente a todxs en tu región, considera la posibilidad de organizar un seminario virtual y presentaciones en línea.
• Presenta los resultados en reuniones importantes como la Comisión de la Condición Jurídica y Social de la Mujer (CSW).
• Además de los boletines y el sitio de Internet de la organización, escribe artículos en diferentes plataformas a las que consulta la audiencia a la que quieres llegar.
  Ejemplos: World Pulse (en inglés), OpenDemocracy (en inglés), feministing (en inglés).

2. Bilaterales y multilaterales

Objetivo propuesto: Crear conciencia acerca de cómo el sector del financiamiento no está cumpliendo con sus compromisos establecidos y cómo necesita mejorar los mecanismos de apoyo para financiar los procesos organizativos por los derechos de las mujeres.

Identifica qué entidades bilaterales y multilaterales son las más influyentes en cuanto al financiamiento; esto podría incluir a las sedes locales de las embajadas.

Ejemplos de posibles métodos de incidencia:

• Compila una lista de organizaciones aliadas y personas influyentes (a algunas de ellas tal vez ya las consultaste en el proceso de investigación) que puedan educar a sus pares.
• Pídeles que te ayuden a difundir los resultados de la investigación más ampliamente y con las grandes entidades multilaterales (como la ONU).
• Haz una presentación y/o asiste a espacios influyentes en las que están presentes entidades bilaterales y multilaterales, como GENDERNET (en inglés).
• Publica artículos en los medios que leen quienes trabajan en entidades bilaterales o multilaterales como devex, Better Aid, Publish What You Pay.

3. Fundaciones privadas

Objetivo propuesto: Expandir la calidad y cantidad del apoyo a las organizaciones por los derechos de las mujeres.

Ejemplos de posibles métodos de incidencia:

• Asiste y/o haz presentaciones en eventos organizados por fundaciones privadas.
• Utiliza los grupos de membresía para contactarte con fundaciones privadas, como por ejemplo el International Human Rights Funders Group [Grupo Internacional de Financiadoras de Derechos Humanos] o la African Philanthropy Network [Red de Filantropía Africana] (sitios en inglés). Propone organizar una sesión en los eventos que organizan estos grupos.
• Ponte en contacto con las alianzas progresistas que otorgan financiamientos (como EDGE Funders [Fundadores EDGE]) para la difusión y para estudiar la posibilidad de hacer una presentación para ellas.
• Publica artículos en los diferentes medios que leen quienes trabajan en fundaciones privadas como The Chronicle of Philanthropy [La Cronica de Filantropía] y Alliance Magazine [Revista Alianza] (sitios en inglés).

4. Fondos de mujeres

Objetivo propuesto: Alentarlas a continuar y expandir su trabajo.

Ejemplos de posibles métodos de incidencia:

• Realiza presentaciones en los fondos de mujeres de tu región y en los países sobre los que esperas influir.
• Difunde los resultados de la investigación entre todos los fondos de mujeres que tienen influencia en la región, las temáticas o poblaciones que son prioritarias para ti.
• Considera la posibilidad de encarar iniciativas conjuntas a partir de los resultados de la investigación. Por ejemplo, puedes colaborar con un fondo de mujeres para crear un fondo patrimonial que permita cerrar las brechas en el financiamiento que descubriste con la investigación.

5. Sector privado y nuevxs donantes

Objetivos propuestos: Incrementar su conocimiento del campo y alentar a la coherencia entre sus intereses filantrópicos y sus prácticas comerciales.

Ejemplos de posibles métodos de incidencia:

• Consigue que organizaciones aliadas y personas influentes (a algunas de ellas tal vez ya las consultaste en el proceso de investigación) eduquen a sus pares.
• Organiza reuniones con actores influyentes del sector privado para presentarles los resultados de la investigación.
• Convoca a tu propia reunión, invitando a actores del sector privado, para compartir los resultados y defender tu posición.

Asegúrate de adaptar las presentaciones, propuestas y aplicaciones a cada uno de los grupos a los que quieres llegar.

Définition

L'économie solidaire (qui inclut l'économie coopérative et l’économie du don) est un cadre alternatif qui adopte différentes formes dans divers contextes et qui est ouvert au changement continuel.

Ce cadre est fondé sur les principes suivants :

• la solidarité, l’entraide et la coopération
• l'équité dans toutes les dimensions
• le bien-être social
• la durabilité
• la démocratie sociale et économique
• le pluralisme

Dans une économie solidaire, les producteurs mettent en place des processus économiques qui sont intimement liés à leurs réalités, à la préservation de l'environnement et à la coopération mutuelle.

Le contexte

Selon la géographe féministe Yvonne Underhill-Sem, l'économie du don est un système économique dans lequel les biens et les services circulent entre les personnes sans accord explicite de leur valeur, ou sans impliquer de réciprocité ultérieure.

Derrière le don il y a la relation humaine, la bienveillance et l'attention portée à la nurturance* de toute la société, non seulement limitée à soi-même et aux proches. Il s’agit ici de la notion du collectif.

Par exemple, dans la région du Pacifique, cette approche comprend la collecte, la préparation et le tissage de ressources terrestres et marines pour fabriquer des tapis, des ventilateurs, des guirlandes et des objets de cérémonie. Elle comprend également l'élevage du bétail et le stockage des récoltes saisonnières.

Perspective féministe

Pour les femmes, les incitations à s’engager dans des activités économiques sont diverses et multiples, allant de la réalisation d’aspirations de carrière afin de gagner de l'argent pour une vie confortable à long terme, à gagner de l'argent pour joindre les deux bouts, à rembourser une dette ou encore à échapper aux corvées de la vie courante.

Pour s’adapter aux divers environnements au sein desquels les femmes travaillent, le concept d'économie solidaire est en développement permanent et est continuellement discuté et débattu.

Pour en savoir plus sur cette proposition :

• Les réseaux d'organisations réunis au sein du Réseau intercontinental de promotion de l'économie sociale solidaire(RIPESS) ont émis une série de recommandations (en anglais) relatives au programme de développement post-2015, qui résume les principales exigences pour une économie solidaire.
• Le document publié par le RIPESS en 2015, Vision globale de l’économie sociale solidaire : convergences et différences entre les concepts, définitions et cadres de référence, fait partie d'un processus de dialogue dans lequel le réseau s’est engagé. Le document énonce les principaux points de discussions et identifie les domaines à explorer plus avant.
